Okay, well this was pretty much inevitable.
My love for mug cakes and Easter approaching? Yeah. I have no surprises up my sleeve.
The only difference this time around is that the mug cake is actually in a ramekin. Right? I am just full of surprises.
And so is this mug cake! My favourite part about it is digging in and getting a fork full of melted mini eggs. I wait all year for the chance to pig out on mini eggs, and this cake does this time of the year justice in that regard.
In case you were wondering, I have tested out making this cake in a mug AND a ramekin (my favourite kind of research) and I have concluded that the best way to enjoy this is in a ramekin. The mug works perfectly fine, but for the most part, the eggs sink to the bottom. So unless you want cake then a whole bunch of chocolate later on (nothing wrong with that) then I would suggest the more shallow ramekin.
Although I should probably conduct at least three more of these experiments. The number of trials I am working with is far too small, and the mini egg days are limited.
So if you are having a really elaborate Easter dinner, you can make this super quick and easy dessert. Or just skip the dinner altogether and just eat cake and mini eggs all day. I won’t judge! Its a holiday after all!

So cute your mug cake with the little eggs on it…and yes for peanut butter…

Ah… sounds like an awesome mug cake!
Gotta use up those mini eggs somehow! Love this!
Sometimes, I don't want to make a huge cake. This is the perfect solution. Less mess and more yummy enjoyment!
It looks so delicious and festive with those little Easter eggs.
I love mini eggs with peanut butter — this mug cake looks delicious!
Oh NOES, all these trials you must go through and delicious cake you must eat, you poor thing 😉
Hah, I love the colour and the fact that you topped it off with mini eggs, I only discovered them when I moved to Scotland – they are too good 😀
Happy Easter Cathleen 🙂 xx
Adorable! Perfect for easter! 🙂
Hi Cathleen,
Pretty mug cake in ramekin ! Like it that you've "dropped" some mini eggs to it …. nice !
Cadbury mini eggs are my favorite Easter treat, and I can definitely appreciate this cake! Have a great weekend 🙂
Mug cakes are just the best 🙂
these mug cakes look delicious, Cathleen!
Oh, yum – what a combo!
So cute and tiny-)) Lovely combination of ingredients. Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,

Well, someone has to try out the cakes before you put them on here, right? I love your mini cake, especially with the cute little eggs on top. 🙂
Hello, Kathleen! Oh my goodness, I love pb mub cakes, and adding the mini eggs just sends it up into food heaven in my opinion!
I'm breaking into my mini-egg stash tonight!
Never made a mug cake! Making this one with adorable mini eggs seems like the best time to start 😊.
You must try them! Thanks Nicolette 🙂
For someone who regularly eats peanut butter this recipe is so delicious ! I love the easter egg touch , it looks so pretty !
Thanks!! I am also a huge fan of peanut butter 🙂
I love whipping up a mug cake at the end of the night! It’s such a great easy dessert when you need something sweet. I’ll have to try this one before all the Cadbury mini eggs are gone!
I hope you do Heather! It is so good 🙂
This looks wonderful, and my daughter’s favorite thing right now is microwavable mug, or ramekin, cakes. She has volunteered to continue your research on which vessel works best. (She’s also a huge fan of the combination of peanut butter and chocolate.)
Hahah, yay!! I am still figuring it out myself! I think me and your daughter would get along 😉
Ahhh this is a mug cake I need to make. I love peanut butter and the individual portion, but first of all, I need to find a cute mug cake like this.
I hope you try it Linda! It is so good 😉
This is the cutest Easter dessert! And you can never go wrong with peanut butter. I can’t wait to make this next weekend. Thanks for sharing!
I agree. Peanut butter makes everything better 🙂
This looks too easy! I’m gonna need a diet after all the peanut butter mug cakes I’m going to devour!
Hhahaha. Calories don’t matter over the holidays 😉
Can you believe I’ve never made a mug cake in my life!? I gotta try these though, my daughter would love them!
This needs to change! I hope you try out a mug cake, even if it is not this one, soon!
You sold me at melted mini eggs! This looks absolutely fabulous, and I love that it’s so easy to make. I’ll be buying some mini eggs for sure and making this one
Right? I just bought another bag. Someone needs to take this away from me!
Definitely something to make with the kiddos! My little will love this. Anything with peanut butter is a definite win in this family.
Yes, it’s a win for me too 🙂 Thanks Lauren!
These mug cakes are so dangerous. How am I supposed to be trusted in the kitchen knowing I can whip up a single serving cake SO EASILY whenever the mood strikes?!?!
Hahah, my thoughts exactly!!
